2. Additional Social Plugins

Facebook
In our site, ‘social plugins’ of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”), are used. Plugins are recognized by Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue background, or the “thumbs-up” icon), or with the phrase “Facebook social plug-in.” You can find the list of “social plugins” by clicking here.

In case you find yourself on a page on our website where we have built a plugin, the browser will contact the Facebook server to upload the plugin and view it. During this process, Facebook receives information about your visit to our website, such as your IP address. When the plugin is loaded, Facebook incorporates its content into our website. For this reason, we do not know how much data Facebook can collect using these plugins.

Information related to this topic is subject to Facebook’s Privacy Policy. If you are connected to Facebook from your personal account while you visit our website, Facebook can link your visit to your Facebook account. In addition, if you are engaging in plugins, for example by clicking the ‘Like’ button, or by adding a comment through your Facebook account, the information you provide in this way is sent directly to Facebook and stored there. If you do not have a Facebook account, your IP address is likely to be recognized and saved by Facebook if you click on its plugins.

You can learn more about how much and what data Facebook collects, how it processes and uses it, what your rights are on the data you provide, and what settings you can modify to protect your privacy, by visiting the Facebook data usage policy. If you have a Facebook account but you do not want Facebook to collect information about your visit, you will need to log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website. You can also use additional apps in your browser, to prevent the projection of specific plugins from our site.

When you use our website and provide personal data, we use this information to complete your reservation (flight, ferry, or other reservation), fulfill your possible requests and provide you with email, promotional information or information about your journey. We do not share your data with third parties, unless this is required to complete your order and meet your requests for your travel arrangements.

These providers will disclose information about your travel profile to the airline, car rental companies and to other suppliers whose products or services you have purchased. Although we are trying to choose reliable providers and we are trying to set contractual limitations on third parties who receive your personal data, in order to ensure that they use this data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, we cannot guarantee that they will not use or disclose this data without your permission. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party providers / suppliers, whose products you purchase on our site.

While personal data of the visitors are not collected to our site, we monitor user navigation, in order to understand the needs of our customers and to serve them better in the future. In addition, we have the ability to provide anonymous statistical information to selected partners for management, customer service, marketing, and quality controls, function, and analysis purposes (for example, to analyze consumer habits). Any partner, who has access to the above information, uses them to serve the above purposes only. We share the data you give us only in the ways described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Security of your personal data.

We recognize the importance of protecting all your personal data and we use the appropriate tools to protect them. For example, only authorized employees are allowed to access your personal data and only for the functions that the business allows. However, a data transmission over the Internet can never be described as 100% secure. Therefore, although we make valid efforts to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure or guarantee the protection of the data you provide to us. In order to protect the data stored on our system, we have implemented various security measures, including data encryption technology and firewalls, so that unauthorized people cannot access your information.

1. Display customized ads.

Our main goal is to provide you with content and information relevant to your preferences. For this reason, it is possible that through cookies and other technologies we collect information about your searches on the internet that are associated with your travel preferences. Then, we use this information, along with other information we have collected, to display ads related to your obvious preferences, on our website or on another website. However, we never combine information about your travel preferences with personal data (such as your email address) to display ads. In addition, we do not share your personal data with third parties so that they can display ads to you.

1. Transfer of data.
